Colin Cooke et al in a 2022 paper concluded:
"Mining activities (e.g. blasting, coal processing, rail loading), exposure of coal deposits, and winds, all serve to generate fugitive dust. Emissions of fugitive dust result in poor air quality on and off site and expose mine workers and mining communities to pollutants associated with particulate matter (PM) such as polycyclic aromatics compounds (PACs).

There are no viable solutions to stop the tide of selenium leaching into Canadian and U.S. water from a 100-kilometre stretch of coal mines owned and operated by mining giant Teck Resources. Deformed fish, a potential fish population collapse and contaminated drinking water signal more trouble to come. [narwhal] |
This is a serious question. As our resident cynic, how do publications like the Narwhal stand up for truthiness? Are they considered factual and reliable? It seems like the inherent bias would be off the charts but I may just be swilling the O/G propaganda.
What are considered the best 'environmental' sources to learn more about this stuff?
